In reply to Leech.

Given the fact you people have a plan to invade the Hague if any American is ever tried for war crimes and you only agreed to leave troops in Iraq and Afghanistan on the condition they couldn’t be tried for war crimes committed do you really think any of that will happen?

There is no extraterritorial obligation on states “to comply with human rights,” so the obvious solution is to write a law that removes sovereign immunity from government officials who authorize espionage against private citizens. If public officials are made personally liable for damages for spying, they will quickly stop. When any lawyer can sue them for stalking and snooping, they will stop. If Merkel could sue Obama for invading her privacy, Obama would order the NSA to stop. Until a private right of action exists against government officials for invasion of privacy, the spying will continue.

I am just one of the “little people” but wouldn’t it be quicker, easier and more productive in the long run to help the Patriots get their country back? I am sure with all your skill and experience, you would better know how to accomplish this than I. The average citizen here, I feel sure, has no interest in spying on our neighbors across the lake, so to speak. We are sick of war and secrets and hidden agendas.
